Included in this month’s box is a pamphlet which shows what’s new in September which in this case is Skoshbox’s new website. On the back, you will find information about their online community. I am disappointed that there wasn’t a list of the products included like there used to be, but you can check out their site for all the products inside.
Seibutsu Zukan Sea Creature Gummies
Okay, when I saw this packaging I was absolutely terrified that whatever was inside would taste like ink or the various sea creatures featured on the packaging, but to my delight and surprise the gummies inside were sweet like candy. Phew!
Cheese Kaki No Tane - Value $0.19 (buy 10 bags for $18.99)
“Soy sauce rice crackers coated in cheese”. That is the description of these little snacks and that is certainly accurate. You don’t really taste the soy sauce necessarily, but the cheese you can definitely taste as I am pretty sure there is also cheese inside. I couldn’t eat a lot of these because they are very cheesy, but not too bad.
Hinyari Dango
These gummy, chewy little candies are coated in sugar and don’t really have much of a flavor. In fact, I thought maybe they were supposed to taste fruity or something because of the colors, but it doesn't appear that they have different flavors to them. They simply taste sweet.
Mille Feuille Bar
I have definitely had this type of bar in other boxes I have tried and they all taste very similar. If you have ever had a vanilla wafer bar then this will taste familiar to you. The main difference is that this is coated in a milk chocolate.
Karu Edamame: Edamame Flavor
At first, I wasn’t sure I would like these, but I really did! They definitely tasted like edamame and even a little like asparagus. They are super savory, but not salty at all. Again, not sure if these are something I could eat a lot of, but I did like the flavor, it was different.
Kyo-Machi Saryo
At least there was a clear picture on the package to let you know (sort of) what you were getting into with these candies. I wouldn’t have guessed that the brown one was “sweet roasted soy”, but the matcha and strawberry were obvious. I liked the soy and the strawberry ones, but not the matcha. I don’t like that flavor at all in anything I have tried so far.
Pote Usa Loppy Gorone Hiyori Rabbit Plush
As an added bonus this cute little rabbit plush keychain is included in your box. He is so darn cute! This type of thing isn’t for me, but I have some kids in my life who would enjoy this little cutie.
Verdict: Japanese snacks aren’t something I usually enjoy, the flavors are a little too strange for my taste. This one, however, wasn’t too bad! My favorite item was the edamame flavored sticks. The prices are pretty hard to determine with these boxes, but I think that for the $12 price tag are getting a variety of pretty new and interesting snacks to try. Worth it if you enjoy Japanese snacks and accessories!
